  3. Cardiac K+ channels control the resting membrane potentials and the amplitude, duration, refractoriness and automaticity of action potentials. K+ channels share a similar structure, composed by four pore-forming α-subunits assembled as tetramers or dimers forming K+ selective pores and modulated by accessory subunits. The main K+channel pore forming protein is not translated from a single gene as Na+ and Ca+channels, but is made up of four separate subunits, which assembly with ß-subunits to form the functional channel More than 80 different K+ channels are expressed in the heart, display considerable diversity of native K+channels. • Ca-independent transient outward potassium current (I to1)underliesby KCNAgenes encoded Kv3.x and Kv4.x proteins. • Delayed rectifier currents: the rapid (IKr) and slow (IKs) are encoded by different voltage-gated K+ channel genes. IKr is produced by the α-subunit ERG (KCNH2), in co-assemblance with the ß-subunit MiRP1 (KCNE2).IKsis produced by the α-subunit KvLQT1 (KCNQ) assembly with the accessories subunits of minK and MIPRs (KCNE1, KCNE2, KCNE3) • Inward rectifier current (IK1)carried by Kir 2.1, Kir 2.2 and Kir 2.3 (KCNJ2, KCNJ12 and KCNJ4)channel proteins.

  10. Activation and Inactivation of The Sodium Channel Sodium channels are characterized by voltage-dependent activation, rapid inactivation, and selective ion conductance. Depolarization of the cell membrane opens the ion pore allowing sodium to passively enter the cell down its concentration gradient . The increase in sodium conductance further depolarizes the membrane to near the sodium equilibrium potential. Inactivation of the sodium channel occurs within milliseconds, initiating a brief refractory period during which the membrane is not excitable. The mechanism of inactivation has been modeled as a "hinged lid" or "ball and chain", where the intracellular loop connecting domains III and IV of the a subunit closes the pore and prevents passage of sodium ions.

  11. Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels • Voltage-gated calcium channels are heteromultimers composed of an α1 subunit and three auxiliary subunits, 2-δ, β and γ. The α1 subunit forms the ion pore and possesses gating functions and, in some cases, drug binding sites. Ten α1 subunits have been identified, which, in turn, are associated with the activities of the six classes of calcium channels. L-type channels have α1C (cardiac), α1D (neuronal/endocrine), α1S (skeletal muscle), and α1F (retinal) subunits; The α1 subunits each have four homologous domains (I-IV) that are composed of six transmembrane helices. The fourth transmembrane helix of each domain contains the voltage-sensing function. The four α1domains cluster in the membrane to form the ion pore. The β-subunit is localized intracellularly and is involved in the membrane trafficking of α1subunits. The γ-subunit is a glycoprotein having four transmembrane segments. The α2 subunit is a highly glycosylated extracellular protein that is attached to the membrane-spanning d-subunit by means of disulfide bonds. The α2-domain provides structural support required for channel stimulation, while the δ domain modulates the voltage-dependent activation and steady-state inactivation of the channel.

  13. The expression and properties of these K+ channels are altered in cardiac diseases (ie. cardiac arrhythmia, Long QT syndrome, hypertrophyc cardiomyopathy, Andersen syndrome, heart failure). These K+ channels still require further investigation because they are involved in the basic normal heart rhythm, and may be altered in cardiac diseases.

  14. Proposed cellular mechanism for the development of Torsade de pointes in the long QT syndrome

  15. Prolonged QT interval on ECG (reflects prolonged APD) • APD governed by a delicate balance between inward (Na+ or Ca+) and outward (K+) ionic current • Affecting the Na+ or Ca+ channel prolong APD via“gain-off-function”mechanism, while mutation in genes encoding K+ channel by “loss-off-function” mechanism
